Robert Barr enters race for senior rep
Robert Barr, a junior in international relations, announced his candidacy for senior representative yesterday.
Barr said that while he has not formally served on the ASSC Executive Council, his background in fraternity leadership and the Trojan Young Democrats, plus “a strong concern and interest in the functioning and organization of matters relevant to student life on this campus” qualifies him for the office.
Barr is a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, a pledge of the Delta Phi Epsilon international relations fraternity and treasurer of the University Conservative Group.
He stresses the need for a “rational reorientation of roles and responsibilities in student government” through establishing a constructive link between the student body and the administration.
“The student body, and the senior class in particular, should have a chance to make known their own interests and opinions.” Barr said.
“It then becomes the responsibility of the student government to fit these interests and opinions into the working structure of the university.
“I would like to see the implementation of various student polls to determine the interests of the students, from these the student government could draw representative material for the various facets of its responsibilities.”
Barr described the counseling service as one of the most relevant areas of concern to seniors. He would use his position as senior representative to to increase the effectiveness and scope of this service.
USC ship returns from oil spill look
Velero, the research vessel of the Alan Hancock Foundation, recently returned from the first of her monthly voyages to the Santa Barbara Channel to determine the effect of the oil spill on the area’s ecology.
Candidates can submit columns
The Daily Trojan will publish a special election edition Monday devoted to candidates' battle columns, Mike Parfit, editor, announced yesterday.
The deadline for submitting columns is today at 6 p.m. 432 Student Union.
The following guidelines will be used; All columns must be typed, double-spaced with margins of 15 and 70. Presidential candidates are limited to 100 typewriter lines. All others are limited to 60 lines.
The monthly trips will take samples for a study being conducted by USC which is financed by a $150,000 grant from the Western Oil and Gas Association.
The project chief is Dr. Dale Straughan, research associate for the Hancock Foundation, under the supervision of Bernard Abbott, director of the foundation.
The study is being conducted by analyzing the chemical changes in the water, the amount and variety of marine animals and plants, and by observing the seepage of the oil into the sediment on the ocean bottom. Tests of the sampling is done by graduate students aboard the Velero.
“We’ve just begun to take samples,” Dr. Jay Savage, associate director of the Hancock Foundation said. “Weeks of study will be required before we can speculate one way or the other.”
Savage said that the Western
Oil and Gas Association called for the study to obtain scientific information on the long range effects of oil slicks.
ASSC resolution letting dorms set rules passes
By LYNN PINEDA
The ASSC Executive Council passed a resolution yesterday which would give dormitory governing bodies the authority “to make all rules and regulations deemed desirable by the residents.”
If no action is taken by the Men’s Hall Association or the Women’s Hall Association to discuss new regulations within the next five weeks, the resolution calls for the council to appoint a three-man committee to study and adopt new rules in accordance with resolutions adopted by the council three weeks ago. These called for an end to the “in loco parentis” policies of the university.
Bob Ennis, graduate representative, introduced the resolution in yesterday’s three-hour marathon meeting that ranged far and wide.
Despite the resolution, all rules concerning residence halls must be approved by the administration, university regulations say.
The action by the council is an attempt to prod the MHA and WHA consideration into further liberalization or dormitory regulations. If that fails, the council made it clear it is ready to determine dormitory policy, and has the authority to do so.
Earlier the council had defeated another motion on dorm regulations proposed by Jeff Elliot, graduate representative, and an amendment
to that resolution proposed by Steve Foldes, independent representative.
Elliot’s defeated motion called for each men’s and women’s dormitory* to establish an independent council within five weeks to study and/or pass regulations deemed necessary by the residents. Each council would have had representation by floor, and would have been independent of the MHA and WHA.
in other business, the council passed a question to be put on the ballot in the upcoming ASSC elections asking students if they want an additional yearly fee of $4 to help finance scholarships for minority students.
Two other questions will be put on the ballot asking the students if they want to increase the number of graduate representative from four to six, and, whether they want the ASSC council to be increased in number by an ungiven amount.
Joe Porter, president of the freshman law class, was appointed by the committee to replace graduate Mike Davis, who was drafted.
Ken Walter, senior representative, was asked to resign by the council because he has missed 16 meetings.
The council also repealed the election code rule which called for any member of the on-campus communications media to resign his position two weeks before running for an ASSC office.

Bradley wants youth to be involved in government
By MELODY GILLARD
Encouraging youth to get effectively involved in government was stressed yesterday by Tom Bradley, councilman from the 10th district and candidate for mayor of Los Angeles.
He veered form the usual campaign speech and tackled what he said he feels are the major problems of youth unrest, as he spoke to a large audience in Hancock Auditorium.
“The mayor must help involve young people in an effective way in government,” Bradley said. “To do this, we must start on the college campuses. It is there—on the college campuses—that youth is testing ideas, testing programs. This is the point—to seek involvement.
“And then we must continue the thrust—a new thrust in government. We’ve seen the window dressing approach, but no meaningful use of students, no seeking of their advice, no effort to get broad representation.”
Bradley said repression is city government’s first response to violence and student demands. He said it fails to understand the minds of young people, and why they feel government is unresponsive to their needs. He added that he feels the system should be rejuvenated and changes should come from within City Hall.
Speaking on strikes at city schools, Bradley said that unless government anticipates problems and responds to them, the problems will continue to exist.
He cited the disturbances at Manual Arts High School as an example, saying that one year has passed and nothing has been done either by the
Board of Education or the mayor. A woman in the audience echoed his words.
“We need an innovative approach,” Bradley said. “The old system is not in tune with the times.”
He said he will work to get more job training programs within the schools, and funds to help private industry cover the cost of training employees. He also advocates pay incentives to keep good teachers in minority areas, and parent involvement in making decisions which affect their children while in school.
“There is a common thread which runs through many of the problems we face. We must begin to be flexible and forward-looking enough to meet
them, and meet them in a hurry.”
Bradley had three main areas from which would deal with poverty—education, jobs and housing.
He said he feels quality education is a main concern^ and added that in some areas of Los Angeles 40 percent of the students drop out before they complete high school. In some areas, he said, 25 percent of those who do graduate from high school still can’t read a newspaper.
He said the private sector should take a bigger share in providing jobs and that industry should seek out those who have lost hope. The Department of Labor, Bradley said, will provide the services they need, Bradley said, adding that he would establish a citizens’ advocate, a man or staff that would directly respond to the problems of the people.
Mail not enough—KUSC
Over 250 cards and letters have poured into KUSC-FM since Friday in response to the five days the campus radio station was forced to go off the air because of antenna damage. ,
Station manager Doug Peck used this fact as proof to back up his statement that KUSC (91.5) does have community support. Peck said that the administration does not seem to realize this support when figuring the station’s budget.
Peck explained that KUSC’s equipment is, at best, outmoded, but cannot be replaced on the $7,000 yearly budget.
The antenna, which has caused the trouble, was obsolete even 20 years ago, according to its manufacturer. According to Peck, it will cost $7,000 just to fix the structure. In addition, some engineers who have consulted with Peck have said
that KUSC might be operating on as few as 200 watts, instead of their supposed 24,000 because of the faulty equipment.
Peck said that the station would like to buy a new antenna, but he does not know where the money will come from.
“The administration won’t budge. I don’t think they’re being fair,” Peck said.
If the money for a new antenna were provided, land would still be needed to erect it on.
Of the letters that the station has received, Peck said that a majority of them were from UCLA listeners. Most were wondering what had suddenly-happened to the Concert Hall program. The Old Gold Show, which plays pre-Beatle music, was reported to be receiving wide popular support also.
